In this episode, April and Jordan go deep on what positioning really is, when to work on it, and when to leave it alone.We cover why 40 to 60% of B2B deals end in no decision and why that's a positioning problem, not a sales problem.April explains how to run a positioning review without falling into the trap of changing everything for the wrong reasons, how to handle multi-product complexity without ending up with a Frankenstein document, and why category creation is mostly magical thinking.We also get into one of the sharpest distinctions in the episode: investor positioning vs. customer positioning and why confusing the two is one of the most common mistakes founders make.→ When to start working on positioning and when to keep it loose→ The signals that tell you your positioning is broken→ Why 40-60% of B2B deals end in no decision, and what to do about it→ Multi-product positioning: how to structure it without creating a mess→ Category creation: why most companies shouldn't try→ Investor positioning vs. customer positioning: two completely different gamesWHERE TO FIND APRIL: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aprildunford/Obviously Awesome: How to Nail Product Positioning so Customers Get it, Buy it, Love it : https://a.co/d/0eMZX1K9WHERE TO FIND JORDAN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanchenevier/WORK WITH BULLDOZER: https://bulldozer-collective.com/-- WHAT IS BULLDOZER?

The First-Time CMO Playbook (Alice de Courcy, ex-CMO at Cognism)
To receive our marketing & growth strategies by email: https://bullishbulldozer.substack.com/ To work with Bulldozer: https://bulldozer-collective.comAlice de Courcy spent 7 years as CMO at Cognism, scaling the company from 3M to nearly 100M ARR and she documented almost every lesson publicly along the way.In this episode, Jordan sits down with Alice to unpack what it actually takes to build a B2B marketing engine that compounds over time: how she earned the CMO title from within, how she structured a 28-person global team, and why she eventually blew up her entire lead generation model to replace it with a content-driven demand creation machine.They go deep on the math behind ungating content, how she sold the shift to a skeptical C-suite and board, the tools she used to measure what happened in the dark, and the content pillars framework she built to make memorability systematic.Alice also shares her current work as a fractional CMO, what she's learned from the outside looking in, and why quality of content is the one moat that AI still can't replicate.WHERE TO FIND ALICE : https://www.linkedin.com/in/alice-de-courcy-5205516a/Book "The diary of a first-time CMO" : https://amzn.eu/d/0h0vDLCC Book "The diary of a first-time CMO: Volume 2" : https://amzn.eu/d/04Dn3lUaWHERE TO FIND JORDAN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanchenevier/WORK WITH BULLDOZER: https://bulldozer-collective.com/-- WHAT IS BULLDOZER?

To receive our marketing & growth strategies by email: https://bullishbulldozer.substack.com/ To work with Bulldozer: https://bulldozer-collective.comEli Schwartz is the author of Product-Led SEO, the book that reframes how companies should think about organic growth.

The top of funnel now belongs to LLMs. But mid and bottom funnel remain the territory of traditional SEO and that's where the real battle is for most companies.We also get into what's overrated: technical SEO, link building, and the obsession with GEO as a separate investment.
